The amount of things that Greg Talley and I have in common continues to grow everytime we compare notes 📝. Our Love for attaching nicknames to people, places and things has to sit near the top of the list.
Anyone that reads my writing ✍ knows that I call Hillsville, The Hill and David at The Carroll News is Allen Worrell’s Plucky Sidekick. Greg does the same thing with the Student Athletes he coaches on our Carroll County High Tennis 🎾 team. A nickname is designed to be an term of endearment, at least in my World 🌎 and Greg’s as well. Greg writes ✍ in a colorful manner when he sends me his stuff during Tennis 🎾 season and his assistance with the Boys 👦 Basketball team has been incredible.
The photo 📷 above is one Greg recreates everytime he can because of just how proud he is of this group of Basketball 🏀 players that have been playing together since the 3rd grade. The third place that our paths cross is with the Special Olympics Basketball when Mrs. Ritchie needs assistance. I need a dozen or so people like Greg, a Parent proud of his Son ➕ a Coach that’s proud of his program with a sense of humor. The amount of ways that Greg is a part of what we are trying to do here continues to build and we Love 💘 him for it ! Another thing that the two of us have in common is we don’t hide from our age, we lean into growing old.
Mr.T is a kind hearted soul that Loves his Children and their friends. Just like to old Saturday Night Live skit with Christopher Walken – “We need more Cowbells.” Greg Talley is our Cowbell and you will find him at the head of Table #5 on March 23rd !
